‘Be in sync with the drums of your heart’

This advice has stuck with me ever since I quit my job in the corporate banking world in 2012 and started my Yoga Teacher Training whilst traveling the world. I have been a drummer all of my life and when I stopped to listen to my inner drum beat, I found it beating to the tune of yoga and wellness, an area in which I’ve been practicing for the past 8 years. Following this tune has lead me to teach yoga classes, trainings, and workshops throughout the world, particularly in India and my native United States. I completed my 500hr Yoga Teacher Training in India, and also 300 hours of training in Thai Massage in Thailand. With this background, I like to take a hands-on approach to classes and enjoy teaching and practicing a variety of styles. My fascination with the human body grows daily and leads me to write numerous articles on the subject.

To me, yoga is a never-ending journey of self-realization and celebration. I spend a lot of time connecting with nature as an avid trekker and professional scuba diver. I find that yoga is a great way to experience, embrace, and celebrate the connection between ourselves and the world that surrounds us, stomping our feet in time with our inner heartbeat.

Ashiyana had come highly recommended by fellow teachers and students and still managed to exceed expectations. Me and my group had a wonderful time here - it's like a little oasis of serenity hidden away, yet right by the beach and within easy access to shops and restaurants when you want them. The yoga shalas are beautiful and well equipped - and the food amazing!! Thank you to everyone at Ashiyana for looking after us so very well :-)
